“The purpose of the NIAA Hall of Fame is to recognize and honor those outstanding individuals who have had a significant and positive impact on the lives of Nevada’s young people through their involvement as an administrator, athlete, coach, contributor, and/or official.”
-Dr. Jerry A. Hughes
Former Executive Director, Hall of Fame founder, and 2008 inductee
The NIAA Nomination & Selection Process:
The NIAA Hall of Fame induction banquet and halftime recognition ceremony started in 1992, initiated by Dr. Jerry A. Hughes, the former Executive Director of the Nevada Interscholastic Activities Association, to honor deserving individuals.
The induction process for an individual into the NIAA Hall of Fame begins with a nomination from a current or retired superintendent, a member of the NIAA Board of Control, an athletic administrator or director from a member school, or a member of the media. Subsequently, a selection committee representing various categories evaluates the nominees and selects the inductees. Finally, the chosen individuals must receive approval from the NIAA's Board of Control.
Nominees can be drawn from five categories: administrator, athlete, coach, contributor, and official. An athlete is eligible for nomination 15 years after graduating from high school. Nominees in the other categories may be submitted after they have served in secondary education for at least 25 years. However, all nominees must be retired from their respective fields to qualify for consideration.
The staff at the Nevada Interscholastic Activities Association, along with the Board of Control, athletic administrators from member schools, and over 38,000 high school student-athletes across the state, would like to express our gratitude to everyone who contributes to the success of high school activity programs in Nevada.
It is often said that activities represent the other half of education, and the NIAA wholeheartedly subscribes to this belief. Under the guidance of teachers, coaches, administrators, officials, and numerous contributors, Nevada's high school student-athletes are afforded the opportunity to learn valuable lessons in teamwork, commitment, loyalty, and citizenship. We extend our gratitude and appreciation to all those who provide exceptional support in this endeavor.
